The Wrong Guy Page #2

Synopsis: In Cleveland, the histrionic and clumsy executive Nelson Hibbert expects to be promoted to president of the Nigel Industries since he is engaged to the owner's daughter. However, his future father-in-law Mr. Nagel chooses the executive Ken Daly for the position, and Nelson threatens him in front of the board of directors. Later he decides to pay a visit to Mr. Nagel but finds him dead with a knife in his neck. Nelson removes the knife and is covered of blood, becoming hysterical and leaving the office assuming that he is the prime suspect. However, the surveillance cameras disclose the identity of the killer, and while Nelson escapes to Metcaf believing that he is chased by the police, the killer is pursued by the police and tries to eliminate Nelson believing that he is a "super-cop" on his trail.

Aah!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Oh, God! Aah! Aah!

So that's the woman

that found the body.

No, sir.

That's a man.

-- Aah! Aah! Aah!

-- Really?

All right.

Well, let's roll the

tape back and see the

actual killer again.

[ Tape rewinding ]

This killer is

one tough customer.

He's gonna be

tough to catch.

Look at him pull himself

into an air duct.

He must've been working out

for months.

Maybe we should

let the Feds handle it.

Sir, unless he crosses state

lines, this is a local matter.

Well,

what am I supposed to do?

I mean, we don't have

the first clue as

to who this guy is.

Well, from the video,

we've been able to establish

that he's 5'11 1/2",

183 pounds,

dark hair, right-handed.

Thanks.

Mr. Nagel's life

was recorded 24 hours a day

by sophisticated hidden

surveillance cameras.

So why wasn't anyone watching

the Nagel office monitor

at the time of the murder?

We found it...better

not to watch him when...

he's alone.

Why?

[ Beep ]

[ Nagel moaning pleasurably

and panting ]

And he knew

he was being recorded?

Oh, yes.

He wanted us to watch.

Ahh.

Well, I think

we have enough here.

Uh, Jimmy,

pull the patrol car around

to the loading dock,

then call me down.

Sir, should we try to find

that screaming woman?

Man.

Uh, screaming man

that found the body?

No. We've got this tape

and this printout.

Let's focus all our energies

on catching this killer.

[ Thud ]

[ Coins clinking,

men shouting and laughing ]

[ Coins clinking ]

-- In there!

-- In there!

-- Aw!

-- Yeah!

Every time!

Keep this up,

I'll retire.

[ Laughter ]

[ Men singing doo-wop ]

Ooh ooh ooh

Doo ba

Ooh Doo-doo-doo

Stop or I'll shoot

Gangster girl

Bom ba-i-o bom

Your love has got my guns

firing

Gangster girl...

Man on TV:
...Johnson's

patented inside move,

but this is where they excel

in defense.

Man #2:
We interrupt this game

for a live UNB update on the

murder of Randall G. Nagel.

Here's Cathy La Conole.

Although authorities

have not publicly stated

that they have a suspect,

police have released

surveillance camera footage

showing the grisly murder.

[ Nagel grunting ]

Nobody told me

they had security cameras.

What's the point of pulling

an inside job

if you can't get

inside information?

Now we'll have to switch

to Plan "B."

You remember --

the one we only use

if something goes

terribly wrong.

Yes.

And I'll need double the money.

I'll have to spend

the next couple of years

out of the country.

Meet me on the 23rd,

12:
00 noon, Mr. Tiny's.

And don't make me switch

to Plan "C."

You stole my heart away

Ooh, gangster girl,

gangster girl
